Customer Service

Trust is a very important criterion for a customer service relationship in this day and age because when a customer feels and knows that they can trust you they are guaranteed to come back and give you their business. With trust and loyalty you can make it far in a company and very far in life and in the business world. When customers come into your place of business to shop or maybe to get a service done they are putting their trust in you. When a customer ask you a question whether it is about clothing, shoes, or a skin care products they are trusting that you are knowledgeable enough to provide answers that is honest and reliable. With building trust and loyalty with each and every customer this ensures return businesses and new customers. Most businesses can credit their success to word of mouth. I personally will recommend a store that I shop at or a restaurant I eat at if services were good. Trust is something that needs to be everywhere not just in the work place, it’s also something people need to build and earn. In a relationship with your partner you need trust cause without trust the relationship will not last and it will die. If you are loyal to people around you they will trust you until you do something that shows them you are not loyal and they cannot trust you anymore. Once trust is broken with your customers you will be sure that you will lose business and that customer and any others that were recommended by your client. A business cannot be successful without trust and loyalty both from business owners and from customers.

...Communication Skills
Customer service representatives who listen well are most effective, because listening helps them understand customers and consequently better serve their needs. In this assignment, you will consider how CSRs can train themselves to become better listeners.
This is a seminar on how to improve one’s listening skills; it is very important part of being a Customer Service Representative (CSR) that your listening skills be top notch. It is important to learn that there are three valuable skills of effective listening:
1) Tune in ~ This is considered the first step in effective listening. To be a good listener one must be a successful listener. Being a successful listener is being physically and mentally willing to listen to your customer. This is giving he/she your undivided attention and aligning your body so that you are looking the customer straight in the eye.
Another important point of turning in is turning off the outside distractions, focusing all your attention on the individual at hand. Not thinking about where you are going after work, not planning your response before you listen to the whole story from the customer(s) or passing a verdict/judgment on others before their story is heard.
Demonstrate you are listening ~ The second step in this process is showing the customer you are concerned with their problem. Don’t just listen, but reassure the customer that you are concerned with their problem and only them at this......

...Differentiation
There are many ways to differentiate a physical product with those in its class. These techniques include quality, function, advertising, availability, distribution, and service. All of this work very well in doing what they are supposed to but there is one that stands out on top of all the others. Companies use these techniques to differentiate there product because of how it captures and locks in the customers of their target market. To differentiate means to set you apart from the others, which is what all companies, want for their product.
Why companies differentiate
Source of Competitive Advantage
One reason why companies differentiate their products is that it is a source of competitive advantage. When a product is released on the market, it only has a few months before other companies can replicate the product and make it their own. There can be so many versions of a product, but companies find things to make theirs better than their competition. Take a local pizza place as an example, each business takes their pizza and provides better service whether it be from training their servers more or by having a delivery service. Pizza is such a basic product and there are many businesses that try to enter that market. The few that have superior quality or differentiate themselves in any other way are the ones that survive.

...I believe that providing good customer service is connecting with your customers where they are, being efficient in doing that, and having a full view of all what they need to do. In providing the best customer service, an employee needs to be well aware that he/she is accountable for his/her actions and decisions, and he/she can neither pass the buck nor pass the blame to someone else. This leads to an important quality of productivity which plays an important role in customer service. Productivity' is about how well an employee combine resources to produce the best customer service. It is important to have this skill because it benefits the customer, the company and the work force.
Productivity in the workplace often translates into good customer service and interaction, which basically is the key to satisfying customers. This can be used to gain the loyalty of consumers and meet their needs. When a customer is loyal they will market the business to others for you, through word of mouth, which is a marketing advantage coming out of high levels of productivity. The employees themselves are an investment by the firm and like any investment, they should yield a healthy or worthwhile return to the company. Therefore, when employees are highly productive the company achieves its goals of investing in them in the first place. Next, when a firm is highly productive it becomes successful eventually, and because of this, incentives are bound to be made available to the employees.......

Quality Customer Care can be defined as meeting or exceeding customer expectations every time they visit the organisation or business. Businesses who go the extra mile will win customers loyalty and, in return, customers will keep going back to them. It’s important that businesses earn customers long-term support because it will determine the organization success.

Quality Customer Service aimed is not only to meet the expectation of customers, but to try to exceed those expectations every time they step into the organisation. These expectations continue to rise as customers become more aware and more sophisticated. The organisation should emphasize on “expectations” and “every time”. When it comes to customers they expect the organisation or business to be friendly, courteous, well-mannered, helpful, have a efficient service and deliver what the company promises, and if their expectations are not met they would look for business someplace else.

But even technology is not well understood by the customers they are willing to use them if it means solving the problems quicker.

And today we want to solve things right away since we are also busy in our daily lives. Yes they can respond to the channels in minutes but some can’t and takes it for how many days.

Yes technology is evolving and so as the customer support service. And we customers should adapt to it if we want a faster solution. But as a manufacturer they also need to adapt to the customer needs, they should know how to address it and how to give solutions to it since not all of the customers understand the technology.
